About Pfannenberg
Match The Signal To The Space
Pfannenberg helps you plan warnings that people can hear and see. You can use its 3D-Coverage data to understand the space a device covers, taking your site’s background noise and lighting into account.
Not from the maximum dB rating alone. You also need to consider the alarm tone, distance and background noise where people will hear it.
Does changing the lens colour affect coverage?
Yes. Different lenses let through different amounts of light. Use the coverage data for the colour you plan to install.
Is 3D-Coverage the same as EN 54 certification?
No. You can use 3D-Coverage to help position devices. EN 54 certification tells you about the tested performance of specific fire alarm products.
Can I use the same beacon indoors and outdoors?
Check the model’s enclosure rating, temperature limits and mounting instructions. Outdoor sunlight also affects visibility, so an indoor layout may not provide enough warning outside.
When should I choose a combined sounder and beacon?
A combined unit can provide audible and visual warning at one position. Both the sound and light coverage still need to suit the people and space being protected.
What information helps select a replacement?
Send the full part number, voltage, lens colour, mounting arrangement and alarm function. A similar-looking unit may have a different electrical load or coverage.
Are all Pfannenberg signaling devices suitable for a fire alarm system?
No. Select a device with the required fire alarm approval and confirm its supply, current demand and compatibility with the system. An industrial warning device is not automatically an approved fire alarm device.
Which products can be used in hazardous areas?
Use the Ex-ATEX range and check the exact device certificate against the site classification. Standard PATROL and PYRA units should not be assumed suitable for a hazardous area.
